    Hi -

    Just installed Fedora Core 4. eth0 came up fine. It was able to
    negotiate a DHCP address fine. But it didn't pick up the DNS
    servers nor the default route.

    I added the nameserver manually to resolv.conf (is this the proper
    way to do it when using a DHCP client?) and punched my own default
    gateway. Everything works fine since.

    But why didn't the DHCP lease work correctly?

    Thanks,
    Brian
